Jenna came home to stay on Friday!!! We were planning on the Krouses coming down for a visit and then going up the mountain to visit them on Saturday, but Mrs. Krous sent us an email saying that she was bringing Jenna and all her things!! We were very surprised and delighted. :)

After making 8 trips on the snowmobile to bring everything down to the car, they drove here. Several boxes and bags full of Jenna's clothes made their way into the girl's room. We unloaded several beautiful dresses, sweaters, and shirts among other nessacary articles. Then we ate dinner and chatted until about 9:30 p.m. at which time Jenna went to bed.

Next morning found us all eagerly waiting to be able to get her up and play with her. The day went by delightfully with each of us learning more about how to care for a baby. It's been a long time since I had to feed, change, and care for one. Here are some pictures of that first day.....

 

 

 

On Sunday we headed up to see the Krouses and our little girl. We had to park about 2 miles from their house and complete the trip on their snowmobile! It was great fun holding on and whizzing up the hill, while getting snow in our face! We had a great day playing with Jenna, playing Pit (a card game), and eating a delicious lunch. Cherish (Jenna's Aunt) showed me her new horse, Mocha. Mocha is a very pretty white horse with brown spots. She is a very silly, people friendly horse. Then when it was time to go, Cherish, Calvin, Kayla, and I grabbed some sleds and went sliding part way down the hill that had sides of snow built up like a tobaggan run. The ground was so icy that it was hard to stop the sled! Alissa (Jenna's Aunt and Cherish's sister) was going back and forth on the snowmobile bringing people and bags down to the cars. It took about 45 minutes to bring everything down to the cars, but it sure was fun!!! :)
